Bio
The Autobots' leader is the biggest, strongest, and smartest. Optimus Prime makes the plans and protects the humans in the war with the Decepticons. He's awesome in big-rig mode and even more amazing as his true red-and-blue-armored self. You wouldn't call Optimus Prime cuddly, but he does care. He's just seen a lot of battle ... and he knows there's more to come.

Cartoon Overview
The leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime is the strongest Autobot warrior and a capable tactician. He is also the most formal of the group, as explained in "Con Job" - "Primes don't party". He serves as a father figure to the team, and desperately wants there to be an end to the fighting and the violence between his side and the Decepticons - he tries to convince Skyquake to lay down his arms, and even tries to convince Starscream to turn aside from Megatron's warlike ways and guide the Decepticons to peace.

Optimus Prime was also once an ally of Megatron, before Megatron lost his way and became the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction. Perhaps this is why he hopes to bring an end to the war - other Autobots, like Bumblebee, are young and have only ever known war. Optimus Prime was there when the Autobot Decepticon war began, presumably - and he remembers his enemies as peers and former friends.
